setBar(value) and the values in the Curor box

[Dave180]

Hi

As a bit of a klude to some unusual processing for historic Volume bars I ended up using setBar() to set the value of the previous bar as each historic bar is processed. [This is a way to cope with the problem of not knowing the end time of a volume bar, even when it is a historic bar.]

There are three series so, instead of an array return, I have
setBar(Bar.Value ,-1,0,nX);
setBar(Bar.Value ,-1,1,nY);
setBar(Bar.Value ,-1,2,nZ);

Where nX, nY, nZ are the three variables to be plotted.

I see the 0 series values, but not 1 and 2, and they don't appear in the Cursor box either.

As I understand it you need to return an array to apply/return the values set through setBar() to more than one item.
Also you do not need to call setBar() for each individual item [as in your example] but you can apply it to an array eg
setBar(Bar.Value,-1,new Array(nX, nY, nZ));
return new Array (3);

Sorry Alexis, the forum seems to have binned my reply.
It was along the lines of the examples seeming to indicate that onlycolours could be set by an array, I now see that values should be too. Not sure though why my single-value routines don't work though.
